What is the secret to a thriving organisation? Hear from HR leaders at Hilton, Commerce, and FanDuel as they set out their blueprint for a robust recognition strategy, aligned with benefits and organisational goals, that builds culture, incentivises performance, and drives engagement more effectively than ever before.

What really motivates employees to give their best at work? Sarah Marrs, Organisational Psychologist and member of Awardco’s Centre of Excellence (COE), together with fellow COE member Christi Gilhoi, will unveil new research answering this critical question. The next era of hybrid human-technology work will require a new style of HR leadership that leaves room for autonomy, mistakes, and experimentation—and meets the individualised expectations of employees. Join us as we discuss our findings on understanding motivation archetypes and response behaviours in employees, and how this informs what HR leaders can do now to use technology to scale while still providing a personal touch.
